Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Cinematic Art
Where do I begin, this movie had a very high risk of disappointing. With how loved and good the first Spider-Man into the spider verse movie was. However this movie exceeded my expectations, especially with the antagonists.
They correctly turned a un-intimidating joke villain into a menacing multiversal threat. You can really feel for the guy too with his problems of not being taken serious and his emptiness which had been filled with rage for Miles. And Spider-Man 2099 was just as good, when we viewers first see him we really like him. He is your typical cool dark hero. However he later becomes a major threat to our protagonists which gave the audience a new set of unfamiliar feelings towards him. His backstory really allowed the viewers to feel for him and it later explained his dedication to stopping Miles from saving his father. This had the viewers twisted up on whose side to take. The villains of this movie were just expertly pulled off.
I also liked how they reintroduced the original Spider-Man obstacles. They give Miles a lot of human problems that all of us deal with which can help the audience relate to him, like time management and girl problems and many more complications. They even threw in a peek into Gwen's problems and feelings like issues with her Dad and dealing with others.
The cliff hanger is what everyone was talking about. I feel like it's good for the sake of making the second sequence of the movie as high quality as possible and I don't know how I would have felt if the movie was 4 hours long so I'm glad they split it up. They also left it off at a good time that left the viewers with questions to make them excited for the new movie.
Overall this movie was close to flawless, amazing animation and cinematography which everyone can enjoy. 10/10.
Blue Cat Blues (1956)
Not really for kids but a good story
This is a darker story from Tom and Jerry that can really only appeal to a certain older demographic. The writing of Blue Cat Blues is amazingly crafted, with a poignant and emotional story that is wonderfully portrayed. The dialogue is limited but impactful, The episode is a testament to the power of storytelling, and a reminder that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones that leave us feeling sad and reflective. While yes they went out of their range with the typically Tom and Jerry audience. I see this episode as a good warning to people as to what they spend their money and time on.
